you know, they should probably just release their own ports. maybe on a susbscription service.
Monetize it and most people won’t pirate their old shit. A lot of people only start pirating stuff because they want to play old games that aren’t sold anymore.
a) I don’t think a comment holds any water in court, I can be lying. And even if I wasn’t, “pirating” is not any crime, they’d need to present evidence that they could try to get from my IP records even if I don’t comment anything.
b) Do you really think my government doesn’t have better things to do?
Just to be clear it can be used in court just like SMS or any other communication. It probably won’t be used against you but it can get companies in trouble for lack of enforcement.
